Looks like another country show will rock Erie Insurance Arena.

Justin Moore and Dustin Lynch will team up on April 18, according to posts on both artists' websites. Erie Insurance Arena has not confirmed the date, but Pollstar also lists it. So, I expect it to be announced any day now.

Moore opened for Blake Shelton at the arena in February 2012 but has since graduated to headlining status thanks to "Outlaws Like Me," his second CD, with hit singles such as "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" and "Til My Last Day."

Lynch, a Tennessee native, has cracked the Top 30 with his second single, "She Cranks My Tractor." Only in country music would you find a title like that, right? "Cowboys and Angels" was his breakthrough hit.

If you can't wait until April for a shot of country, two shows land near us in March. Clint Black will play at Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca, N.Y. on March 9. Look for a Q&A with Black in next week's Showcase. Meadville's annual Country Music Show, presented by the Fraternal Order of Police, will feature the Roots & Boots tour with Joe Diffie, Aaron Tippin and Sammy Kershaw on March 24 at 1 and 6 p.m. Call (814) 337-5650.

Anxious to hear who'll be at the Eerie Horror Film Festival in October? You needn't wait on pins and needles; Pinhead will be there. Doug Bradley, best known for playing the creepy Pinhead in Clive Barker's long-running "Hellraiser" series, will be one of the event's special guests.

Bradley also appears in "Scream Park," an indie film that was shot in Crawford County and will also screen at the festival, set for Oct. 18-20. For more details, visit www.eeriehorrorfilmfestival.com.

Ron Yarosz and the Vehicle remain firmly in the hunt to join the Crossroads Guitar Festival hosted by Eric Clapton with a zillion big-time artists on April 12-13 at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

The top 100 competing bands will soon enter the second round, where judges take over instead of fans. So, the goal is to keep the Vehicle in the Top 100. As of Tuesday, they were, in fact, No. 100 out of 2,370 bands that entered.

Support them at www.playcrossroads.com/u/ronblues. The Vehicle have also stepped up their live schedule. They make their debut at Presque Isle Downs & Casino on Friday and also play Saturday at 9 p.m. at Scotty's Martini Lounge.

Four artists will team up for a benefit for Kelly Jacobs-Tapper, who was recently diagnosed with MS, on Sunday afternoon at Brewerie at Union Station. Ernest Whaley plays first at 2 p.m., followed by Shotgun Jubilee (3 p.m.), Collective Voices Trio with Steve Trohoske, Tony Grey and Rickie Hopkins (4 p.m.) and Eric Brewer & Friends.

The event includes gift drawings for some cool items, including a seven-night hotel stay anywhere in the U.S., including Hawaii, and a Yamaha acoustic guitar. Donation is $5 at the door.

Dekan will play before the game and during halftime of the Erie Explosion's Continental Indoor Football League home opener on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Erie Insurance Arena. For ticket information, call 452-4857.
